Well when I depowered mine that way a year later it got all rusted out in the rack and was impossible to turn. The time after that I welded the holes where the lines go in shut and removed the seal and it was a little better but still not there. The time after that I just bought a car that had a factory manual rack. The difference is night and day.

As for the fuse block, I found it to be easier to just pull all of the wires out from the motor to the back where the battery is. Both had hassles but pulling them all out just seemed less of a headache down the road when I went to put it all back in.

You depinned the whole fuse box . Why all you had to do is pull the wires from the rear forward . I tried to de-pin some of the clips screw that i just cut them .

I'm one line away from finishing my tuck waiting on a fitting then i'll get some pictures up . I'm also going to be making my own intake but if i can't get the couplers in time i'm going to just run the factory one . Seeing as i painted it to clean it up and make it look new .

That is the ignitor condensor. It controls spark output so that the ignitor doesn't throw over voltage.

Capacitor (Condenser)

The capacitor performs several functions. It prevents the points from arcing and prevents coil insulation breakdown by limiting the rate of voltage rise at the points. It's primary function is to provide for a rapid decay of the primary coil current. The capacitor also "third-harmonic" tunes the coil, raising the peak output voltage and increasing the secondary voltage rise time. This increases the efficiency and the amount of energy transferred to the spark plugs. If the coil secondary voltage rises too quickly, excessive high frequency energy is produced. This energy is then lost into the air-waves by electro-magnetic radiation from the ignition wiring instead of going to the spark plugs where we would like it to go. Voltage rise time should be more than 10 microseconds; a 50-microsecond rise time is OK. Conventional systems have a typical rise time of about 100 microseconds.

And that's what it does...

And I know what it does because I needed to replace mine on my NA because the wiring was frayed lol..
